Vacant land bridging finance scenarios private lenders can consider.
Vacant land can create short-term funding needs where a borrower needs to purchase, hold, refinance or prepare land for sale, DA approval or development finance.
Why private bridging finance may suit vacant land.
Vacant land can be harder to fund through standard lenders where there is no dwelling, income is complex, zoning is specialised, the land is held for development or timing is urgent. Private lenders can assess some vacant land scenarios differently, subject to land value, location, LVR and exit strategy.
Common vacant land finance needs
- Settle vacant land purchase quickly
- Hold land while awaiting sale or DA approval
- Refinance existing vacant land debt
- Bridge before development finance is ready
